International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing and Science (2 Semesters), Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Electronic and Electrical Engineering Study Group - University of Huddersfield International Study Centre, UK

International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing and Science

The International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing & Science will prepare you to study one of more than fifty degrees at the University of Huddersfield, in fields such as computer science, most engineering disciplines, forensic science, music technology and pharmaceutical science.

You will study core modules, which are general skills subjects, and specialised modules tailored to your chosen area of study, all of which are important for your academic development.

Why study Engineering, Computing & Science?

• Our flexible entry requirements mean that you can use this route to prepare for an engineering degree – even if you have no background in the subject
• This route offers a strong foundation to succeed in a vast majority of degrees at Huddersfield
• Benefit from our CareerAhead activities to develop the skills you need to become a highly-employable graduate
• Prepare for your future industry work placements, including support with the NHS interview for clinical practice
• Access a range of excellent facilities on a modern campus, such as the Centre for Precision Technologies.

Once you have succesfully completed International Foundation Year in Engineering, Computing & Science, and achieving the required grades, you will join the first year of your undergraduate degree at the University of Huddersfield.

Leading to: Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng (Hons)

Our course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), which means that on completion you will satisfy the academic requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. Once you've spent the required time in industry it could then lead to CEng status, your professional engineering qualification.

This course provides you with the skills to convert theory into practice so that you may become an innovator of the future. We cover the generation, distribution, application and control of electrical energy because managing the systems that keep society running in a sustainable manner is vital. We'll explore the principal aspects of electronic and electrical engineering, investigating areas such as, sustainable power generation, integrated electronic and electrical systems and performance and electronic control of electric machines.

In our Electronic and Electrical Engineering subject area, all of our degree programmes share the same first year of study, which means you can leave your options open until the start of your second year. During your first and second year you'll take part in our initiative called EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). This will give you the opportunity to work together in small teams solving real Electronic and Electrical Engineering problems and testing your solution against other groups in a supportive and friendly competitive environment.
